Sumar plans to relaunch as Frente Amplio ahead of the 2027 general elections
According to a report by El Salto and confirmation from ABC through sources within the group, the coalition is moving toward a new brand for the next general election. Definitions remain pending on the design, colors and candidacy.
The Sumar coalition is moving toward a reconfiguration under the Frente Amplio brand ahead of the 2027 general elections. The information was first reported by El Salto and, according to ABC España, was confirmed by sources in the new political formation, which began organizing on February 21.
According to ABC España, the name was the preferred option from the outset by Izquierda Unida, one of the parties promoting the alliance. In that same circle, they explain that the use of the word “frente” also connects with the slogan “Un paso al frente,” used in recent months.
The brand, however, would not be fully settled in all its details. According to ABC España, definitions are still pending on the design and colors. The outlet also recalled that in the first quarter of the year, three options had been registered with the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office: Nuevo Frente Amplio, Nuevo Frente Popular and Frente Popular.
For now, the formation brings together the four Sumar parties that are in government: Más Madrid, IU, Comuns and Movimiento Sumar. According to ABC España, the goal is for other forces that joined the alliance in the 23-J elections to also be incorporated, including Compromís, Chunta Aragonesista and Més.
The discussion over who will lead the project also remains open. ABC España noted that the intention is to present both the new brand and the definition of the candidacy together, and cited statements by Minister Ernest Urtasun in which he anticipated that those developments would be known “in the coming days.”
Among the names mentioned are Urtasun himself and Ada Colau. According to ABC España, the former mayor of Barcelona said in statements to Público that different parties had proposed that she take that step, although she clarified that she is not a candidate at this time. ElDiario.es, according to the same article, also reported on Colau’s willingness to join a list for Congress if a “truly broad front” can be built, which would include Podemos.
The definition comes shortly after Irene Montero proposed open primaries to lead the space located to the left of the PSOE and offered herself as Podemos’ candidate for head of government in 2027. That move prompted Movimiento Sumar, IU, Comuns and Más Madrid to take a position, in a context in which, according to ABC España, they have been repeating that “no one is left out here.”
